Citroën C4 wears its French eccentricity with confidence, pairing bold, sculpted styling with a supremely comfortable ride that turns mundane commutes into a gentler affair. If you value relaxed comfort, clever practicality and a car with personality rather than pretence, the C4 is a charming, sensible choice — and it won't make you miss the usual hot‑hatch theatrics.

A very comfortable car, but with a flaw I noticed: very high door sills, which you really feel when getting in.
